The female assistant stood there, watching Bai Jingyan, who used to be as radiant as the blazing sun, now struggling like a mosquito in a mud pit. A trace of pity appeared in her eyes.

Immediately afterward, that hint of pity turned into resolution.

"Inject Researcher Bai with five milliliters of V-virus agent," the female assistant said, her voice trembling, enunciating each word.

"Thank you, thank you..." Bai Jingyan repeated.

Soon, a staff member brought an injector. Inside the ampule, blood-red liquid slowly settled, creating a shocking visual impact.

Accompanying the agent were four people carrying heavy shackles and chains.

They skillfully fastened the chains and shackles onto Bai Jingyan. Finally, they placed a neck ring flashing red light around Bai Jingyan's neck.

Inside this neck ring was a miniature explosive of about ten grams, powerful enough to shatter a five-millimeter thick steel plate.

If Bai Jingyan showed signs of mutation or loss of control after being injected with the V-virus, all they had to do was press a button on the remote control, and this miniature explosive would make his head bloom like a flower.

Bai Jingyan would die without a complete corpse.

"Ready," a medical worker glanced at the female assistant and said softly, "We can start at any time."

"Researcher Bai, would you like to make a call home?" the female assistant asked gently, crouching in front of the cold hospital bed.

"That's not my home... it's just a place where I used to live." Bai Jingyan's turbid eyes looked at the ceiling, a bitter smile on his already distorted face. "The people there aren't my family either, they just happen to share the same blood as me."

The female assistant had heard about Bai Jingyan's past. She didn't insist and stood up, saying, "Let's begin."

The needle pierced the vein in Bai Jingyan's arm, and the scarlet liquid was slowly pushed into his body.

Almost visibly, Bai Jingyan's arm swelled up, veins bulging, and muscles bulging high!

At the same time, Bai Jingyan seemed to be enduring great pain, making whimpering sounds in his throat. The chains on his body rattled, sounding particularly terrifying in the empty sterile room!

Crack!

Crack!

Bai Jingyan's bones made violent noises. His legs, which had been crushed by Li Tianran, twisted and began to reset!

But none of the onlookers showed any joy on their faces.

They had done many experiments before.

After the V-virus enters a living organism, it first repairs the injuries inside the organism, and then promotes and mutates.

This was just the normal process.

What really decided everything was when the mutation started.

Bai Jingyan's face also began to reshape. The skull, which had been dented by Li Tianran's punch, began to reassemble, and the severed nerves were reconnected.

During this process, Bai Jingyan had to endure great pain as well.

The V-virus would heal physical injuries, but it had no anesthetic function. It allowed people to clearly perceive the process of their flesh and blood, bones moving, dislocating, and reorganizing. The pain would be much more intense than usual!

Bai Jingyan howled like a beast, struggling desperately, the iron chains constantly colliding and tightening!

The female assistant couldn't bear to watch any longer. She felt a tightness in her chest, as if a large stone was pressing on it.

Usually, she experimented on beasts. No matter how miserable the experimental subjects looked, her heart was as firm as a rock and did not waver.

But now, watching Bai Jingyan's pain, she felt as if she was experiencing it herself!

This was... the depth of love, the sharpness of pain!

The female assistant turned and walked out of the sterile room. She was worried that if she continued to watch, she would not be able to resist giving up, letting Bai Jingyan end this pain, letting him die without pain!

She stood in the corridor and slowly squatted down, covering her ears with her hands.

But Bai Jingyan's howls were still pervasive, drilling into her ears.

Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and walked out of the research institute.

She sat on the steps, like a statue.

She didn't know how long had passed.

Maybe an hour...

Suddenly, a very dull explosion came from inside the research institute.

Her body froze.

In an instant, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and the belief that supported her heart disappeared.

Bai Jingyan... died?

The mutation failed, and the neck ring was activated...

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and gradually, the silent weeping turned into a wail.

She sat on the steps of the research institute, crying heartbrokenly.

Just then, a voice sounded.

"Nan Nan, can you go with me to get a pair of glasses?"

The leisurely voice sounded, like a thunderbolt from the blue!

The female assistant's crying stopped abruptly. She turned her head stiffly, looking back at herself little by little.

She couldn't believe her eyes!

Bai Jingyan was standing there, his face pale, his limbs intact, and his mind clear!

"Researcher Bai..." the female assistant was stunned. She cried with joy, "You, you're still alive? The experiment was successful?"

"Barely survived," Bai Jingyan smiled.

"But... I clearly heard the neck ring explode..." the female assistant was overjoyed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That thing, like a dog collar, I don't like it." Bai Jingyan laughed, a confident aura emanating from him, "Removing it, destroying it, represents my rebirth."

"Thank God!" The female assistant rushed forward, no longer suppressing her emotions, hugged Bai Jingyan and cried.

Bai Jingyan looked at the female assistant and said calmly, "I never believe in God, because my destiny has always been rewritten by myself. God has never helped me, I only rely on myself!"

The female assistant wiped her tears, her cheeks flushed red. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure... Researcher Bai, your success this time shows that our experiment will enter the next stage. This is a double happiness!"

In addition to the surprise, the female assistant thought of the fact that if the V-virus successfully allowed Bai Jingyan to complete the perfect mutation and survive, then it meant that they could replicate Bai Jingyan's successful experience and conduct further research!

"It's not that simple..." Bai Jingyan shook his head when he heard this. He pulled open the shirt on his chest: "I did survive, but it doesn't mean that the V-virus made me mutate perfectly."

The female assistant focused her eyes on Bai Jingyan's chest.

Her pupils suddenly shrank dramatically.

The skin on Bai Jingyan's chest was almost transparent, and she could even see his internal organs beating inside his body. Moreover, the position of the bones had also shifted, and a sharp bone spur grew from one of the ribs, only three or four centimeters away from his heart!

"My mutation... still failed! I have some strength and speed that are stronger than ordinary people, but my body structure is still changing for the worse." Bai Jingyan said calmly, "I can only live for seven days at most. If I can't find that perfectly mutated creature within these seven days, if I can't peek into the secrets in its body, I will still die after seven days!"
